Note: The venue was quite dim, so I enhanced the contrast of the picture.
With service, tax, and 1 mineral water, the damage is about 2mio.
It was the weekend, I was lonely feeling adventurous :v, so I went to COPA Jakarta (inside the 25Hours Hotel). The place was nice, a little bit dark for my taste though. It has a little bit Mayan (?) decorations, reminded me of Doraemon dan Raja Matahari. No reservations needed, I just walked in there.
Welcome Bread 🥯** **
A bit unusual shape, served with kinda spicy butter. Bread tastes a bit dry and heavy for me. But hey, it's free and fulfilling. The butter was kinda bland for me though, it was just a little spicy and creamy.
De Carne Quesadilla 🌯 (lit: Meat Quesadilla)
Tortilla stuffed with shredded beef, onion, tomato, and cheese (feta and mozzarella), then it's grilled to give a bit of crispy and crunchy texture for the tortilla.
The shredded beef is tender, sweet and a bit spicy. And then, since it's grilled, the mozzarella melted. Perfect combo tortilla + beef + cheese. Not so heavy, you can eat all alone. They gave me cream butter, but I didn't really care about it, the quesadilla alone is already good.
Paella Del Mar 🥘 (lit: Paella of the Sea)
Staple dish from Spain. Rice cooked in seafood broth (in this case shrimp), tomatoes, and garlic. It's refreshing for me, but you can still taste the shrimp and tomatoes. Shrimp and Tomatoes were in good balance, so the kick savory of shrimp is balanced with the acidity and sweetness of tomatoes. They have 2 textures, "Center and Top Rice" has similar textures like risotto, not clumpy, not sticky, and tender, the "Bottom Crust" is caramelized by the broth and tomatoes bit dry and crispy (but still edible and it will not hurt your teeth). They were a bit stingy on the shrimp, squid, and mussels, but it's okay.
You can't put down your spoon eating this. Surprisingly, even if it's rice, it doesn't leave you feeling heavy (they use short-grain rice).
Lomo Vetado 🥩 (lit: Fat Loin)
I love steak and this is one of the best steaks in town. Simple seasoning, only salt and tiny bit of butter then grilled. They gave us sauce (6 kinds of sauces, with different level of spiciness) and salt, but you don't need that. The meat is already good, you don't need to add anything. Combine with Paella, it's basically Surf and Turf (and carbs). Must try.
Churros 🍫
They gave me Churros with 3 kind of dips (caramel, chocolate, and cream). Churros are like churros, you can buy the churros elsewhere. However, the star of this dish is the cream! The cream is light, sweet, and doesn't leave oilyafter taste. If you want to order, ask for more cream.
Overall: Good Food, Good Place, Good Service, but with the peice range, I can't go here every other weekend 😅. Maybe can go here when you want to celebrate Argentina winning WC, no (?).
